Step 1
Bring water and dashi to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Cut tofu into 3/4-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Add wakame to the simmering broth and cook 2 minutes until it unfurls and softens.
Step 4
Scoop out 1/4 cup hot broth into a small bowl and whisk with miso paste until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the miso mixture back into the pot, stirring gently to combine without breaking tofu.
Step 6
Add tofu cubes and simmer 2 minutes until heated through—broth should barely bubble.
Step 7
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust salt or miso as needed.
Step 8
Ladle into bowls and garnish with scallions. Serve immediately.
